Multi-Homed Domain Controler with RRAS

[Tom Steinman]

Windows 2000 Server
Windows SP3
RRAS
DC
WINS

Network Browsing is slow and takes up to 40 sec to open
the domain when browsing the Network. If I stop the RRAS
service it takes one sec. The computer browser service
is stopped on the server and another dc is the domain
master browser. I have made reg entries to disable
maintaining a serverlist and to disable if from becoming
a master browser. When I do a browstat status I get:

Status for domain DOMAIN on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_
{B3A6D53C-B5B8-4C39-84
B6-D451432B9BC5}
Browsing is active on domain.
Master browser name is: DC01
Master browser is running build 2195
3 backup servers retrieved from master DC01
\\DC01
\\PPRESSPC
\\WORKNTM02A
There are 39 servers in domain DOMAIN on transport
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{B3A6
D53C-B5B8-4C39-84B6-D451432B9BC5}
There are 1 domains in domain DOMAIN on transport
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{B3A6D
53C-B5B8-4C39-84B6-D451432B9BC5}


Status for domain DOMAIN on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_
{50294661-D3E0-47BF-98
F2-FBFE1F6C147E}
Browsing is NOT active on domain.
Master name cannot be determined from
GetAdapterStatus.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You obviously have two interfaces on the server with Netbios over TCP/IP
enabled. One is probably the "internal" interface in RRAS. This interface
probably also registers in WINS, giving your DC two different IP addresses.

See MS KB 292822 for a diswcussion of this problem, and the steps necessary
to disable Netbios over TCP/IP on the RRAS interface.

I removed Wins from the server and disabled NetBios on
the RAS side and now it is working fine.
